Prose of autumn fish flooding

In the production of spring flood, summer flood and autumn flood in Mingshui period of Heilongjiang Province, autumn flood is a very important fishing season after spring flood. Historically, fishermen have paid more attention to the autumn flood season than the spring flood season, because the annual "salmon flood season" (salmon flood season) is in autumn. In the past, in the north, in September and June, 65438+1October every year, salmon crossed the Sea of Okhotsk in droves, bypassed Sakhalin Island, and entered Ukraine and Heihe River, especially Wusuli River. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Zhonge's "Records of Shengjing" described it as follows: "In autumn and August, salmon entered the river from the sea, and it was difficult to drive them away, so the natives crossed the river with their backs ..." This may be a bit exaggerated. However, in 1960s, salmon was still the main target of autumn flood production. At that time, whenever the mountain flowers were in full bloom, fishermen along the Shangjiang River would also rush to the Wusuli River and the lower reaches of Heilongjiang River to participate in salmon fishing activities. It's really a thousand ships gathering and fishing all night. In each salmon flood season, the two rivers can catch about 400,000 salmon.

196 1 autumn, I participated in salmon production in Li Qinde fishing ground as a staff member of Jiagong Power Plant. In the "Ma Jian" net beach, there are four large trawl teams from different counties, each with more than 30 people, fishing in the river around the clock. One day, the wind was so strong that the river was full of flowers and waves, and the other three nets stopped fishing. Only our net caught the least fish, and Zheng Rende, the foreman, was red-eyed and led us to venture into the river. It is this net that we captured more than 1000 mahas, creating the highest net capture record of the year. Also in the flood season of this year, Hezhe fisherman Xu Fulu and others once caught 102 salmon with a net, weighing more than 700 kilograms.

In the late 1970s, due to the gradual decrease of salmon production, this concentrated effort to round up Maha stopped. 1986 In the autumn flood season, only 80 trawlers of Li Qinde Fisheries Company fished 18000 salmon, or 63 tons, in the river section under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang, setting a record for fishing Maha in Heilongjiang in recent 20 years.

The fishing season in autumn is not only salmon fishing, but also other fish can form a "peak season" and get an unexpected good harvest.

1969 During the autumn flood season, I set up a net at No.3 Zhangdian, Bacha Island, and I met carp happily for three days in a row. The sun just came out that day, and when our night shift slipped the last net of fish into the river, we met carp. Usually, when sliding the net, it takes at most two people to move the "winch" to wring the "net jam" out of the water, but this time it was four boys who shouted the song "net jam" before getting out of the water. We were all shocked to see the "blocking the net"! Two thick "nets" are surrounded by carp from top to bottom, like a big piece of wood. We used two crowbars to pry, but many people couldn't get the "net block" into the cabin. Finally, we had to cut a big hole in the water side of the "net bar" with a knife, and two chopping hooks flew up and down to cut the fish into the cabin. The "net block" is loose, a net is connected to the hole, and the fish in the "net block" is poured into the cabin three times. Put the "net block" back into the river immediately after sliding the fish, and then move the "winch", and the result will be full at once. On that day, more than a dozen fishermen in our team were busy from the early morning to the morning 1 1, and fish heads became less and less, so that they could have a rest. For three consecutive days, the fish came at the same time, and the fish left at the same time, all of which were "carp family". In these three days alone, nearly 654.38+ 10,000 Jin of carp were caught.

Today, although there are fewer fish in Heilongjiang, fishermen still attach great importance to the production in autumn and flood season. Not only can they catch precious salmon occasionally, but autumn flood season is also the season of cold water fish such as pike and Abasha. Especially in late autumn, when the weather is cold and the river is thin, river fish begin to look for "fish nests" for the winter. Looking for such an opportunity, it is not necessarily a net! Last year, before the river was closed, two fishermen found an assembled school of dogs in a deep ditch at the branch of the river and blocked the entrance with a net. As a result, they caught 1000 kilograms of pike in one day, which really made a small fortune.
